Interior Shutters

This week has gone by so fast...I'm not sure where the days have gone....this is becoming more and more common with me...by the time I turn around its a new week... 

I guess that happens with age!


Last week, I met with a potential client who wants rustic shutters in her home...
I have been designing her living room in my head and I can see it perfectly....from fabric, flooring to furniture.....

Have you ever done that before?
 Tell me it's not a sickness!



So, I started to look at inspirations and found so many beautiful examples that I thought I would share them with you...some of these are older pictures, but still feel current.

Christmas Decor

This is such a busy time of year and I still haven't had a chance to finish my Christmas decor or shopping...I've been looking on Pinterest at Christmas decor and there are so many beautiful pictures and ideas.  I still love this image from Veranda 2012 .... I haven't seen any Christmas decor pictures that I like better than this.

This was my home a couple of years ago...the last time I really decorated for Christmas...

Pam Pierce...
who has a flair for Christmas decor.

My Home..T.G.

I loved how Cindy decorated her house for Christmas... She just threw it together and of course it looks beautiful! 
Check out her Blog Rough Luxe Lifestyle.

Pam Pierce....
Simple but elegant!

Sally Wheat, Annie Downing and Pam Pierce....

Designer Sally Wheat isn't afraid of trying something new.....
I love that about her style..... 

Even though she has used contemporary elements in her home.... 
she has left clues of her old style, like those great antique wood doors...
which were in her home before she redecorated.. 

The photographer Kate Lesueur who shot these images for Sally and Annie Downing has a great eye.....





 

So... do you know where I'm going here....

I'm on a roll.....
 if you read my last post....

you know exactly where I'm going with this post....


the use of old with new....

A Lucite table mixed with those old wood shutters....

the shabby chic generation would call them chippy......
and now patina...

but...
 whatever there called..... 

I love the look  

Annie Downing designed this space....
yep... 

she has talent! 

This shot is gorgeous.... 
Annie used art deco lamps sitting on an old 
 vintage painted piece....

and those doors! 

The mix of  contemporary art...
 a vintage table...
and the traditional chandelier... 

clearly make this an interesting space...

And you can't forget about Pam Pierce....

who has redecorated her home by adding contemporary pieces to her french style and she has done it brilliantly!

Did I say Brilliantly...


there were a lot of comments when she reveled this new look......

you might not like her new style but she made this work perfectly!



 And I do like her old and new style.... 

I love how she has mixed the Eames table with her french feel....

This is a perfect example....
A mid- century floor lamp mixed with antiques....

 so....
 here comes the so again....

do you think we are going to see this eclectic look more often....

I do believe so....

you have to admit...

we have been seeing the same french chandeliers and linen covered furniture for awhile now... 

it's fun to see it with a different spin....

don't get me wrong....

I love linen and those wonderful chandeliers....
and you know which ones I mean...

 but....

 it's fun to see artist explore design with a fresh new look...

It keeps it interesting!
